About Ciel Glue

Ciel Glue is a French artist based in Portugal working predominantly with collage based medium. His influences come from his love of surfing and the ocean. The artworks are created from vintage magazines, old books and novels (classics and the lesser known authors but all in some way connected to the ocean), vintage magazines and coloured paper. The re-use of vintage mixed media makes Ciel Glues collage artwork the perfect sustainable home design pieces. I take great pleasure in finding these images of vintage surfers, their lives destined to the closed pages of a dusty magazine at the back of a library and rescuing them from their dark, eternal fate. Bringing them back to the ocean and placing them on the waves of their life. Giving back to them that feeling of the first drop in. My line of creation resides around the sentence; “To read the wave ". It all began at the age of 11 when, after my first few sessions of surfing I very quickly became a surf addict. In parallel to my passion for surfing, I have always been interested in creating, firstly by doing graffiti for 15 years in my home town of Paris which then evolved towards the creation of collages influenced by my love of surfing and my new surroundings on the Portuguese coast.Read their story
